Calling Newark Residents: This New App Will Tell You What’s Going on in Your Community

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Syracuse chapter.

Calling all University of Delaware students and people of Newark. Geoswap, a new mobile app, is offering exclusive coupons and discounts for businesses throughout West and East Main Street in Newark all month long. 

Created by three University of Delaware graduates, Geoswap is a location-based information app that takes the user’s location and displays places and events that are happening within the community. Newark Month with the Geoswap app starts Saturday, August 26th and continues on for four weeks.

For Newark Month, the app displays the events and attractions broken down by day, allowing people to plan ahead. All you have to do is show your smart phone screen to the cashier at the business to get the discount. 

 “Our goal is to show the students and locals that there are always things going on and that GeoSwap is the best place to go to find them. We have exclusive deals to some of the best places on Main Street, but on top of that, we also have the school events so everyone can always find something interesting to do,” says Jordan Gonzalez, CMO of GeoSwap.

Get the app and get out there. School is just starting and a great way to make new friends is to buy them food. Or if you are back with your college buddies and you need a drink together, this is the perfect excuse. 

I study broadcast and digital journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. I absolutely love food. My friends and family often refer to me as a total foodie. I'm glad to have found a community of people at Spoon U who share my passion for all things food. Besides eating, I love to talk sports. My dream job is something combined with sports and food in the shape of talk show format. That wouldn't even be a job, just a fun hobby that pays! Follow my food account @smalland_hungry.
